locking: Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure

2025-10-29T13:01:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 54da6a0924311c7cf5015533991e44fb8eb12773 ] Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build: - simple auto-release pointers using __free() - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for scope-based resource management. - lock guards based on the above classes.

Fix gcc 4.9 build issue in 5.10.y

2024-08-19T03:41:22+00:00

Some older systems still compile kernels with old gcc version. These warnings and errors show up when compiling with gcc 4.9.2 error: "__GCC4_has_attribute___uninitialized__" is not defined [-Werror=undef] Upstream won't need this because newer kernels are not compilable with gcc 4.9.

Compiler Attributes: Add __uninitialized macro

2024-07-18T11:05:37+00:00

commit fd7eea27a3aed79b63b1726c00bde0d50cf207e2 upstream. With INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO enabled the kernel will be compiled with -ftrivial-auto-var-init=<...> which causes initialization of stack variables at function entry time. In order to avoid the performance impact that comes with this users can use the "uninitialized" attribute to prevent such initialization. Therefore provide the __uninitialized macro which can be used for cases where INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled, but only selected variables should not be initialized.

compiler_attributes.h: move __compiletime_{error|warning}

commit b83a908498d68fafca931e1276e145b339cac5fb upstream. Clang 14 will add support for __attribute__((__error__(""))) and __attribute__((__warning__(""))). To make use of these in __compiletime_error and __compiletime_warning (as used by BUILD_BUG and friends) for newer clang and detect/fallback for older versions of clang, move these to compiler_attributes.h and guard them with __has_attribute preprocessor guards.

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

gcc-plugins/stackleak: Use asm instrumentation to avoid useless register saving

2020-06-24T14:48:28+00:00

The kernel code instrumentation in stackleak gcc plugin works in two stages. At first, stack tracking is added to GIMPLE representation of every function (except some special cases). And later, when stack frame size info is available, stack tracking is removed from the RTL representation of the functions with small stack frame. There is an unwanted side-effect for these functions: some of them do useless work with caller-saved registers. As an example of such case, proc_sys_write without() instrumentation: 55 push %rbp 41 b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%r8d 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp e8 11 ff ff ff callq ffffffff81284610 5d pop %rbp c3 retq 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 00 00 00 proc_sys_write() with instrumentation: 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 41 56 push %r14 41 55 push %r13 41 54 push %r12 53 push %rbx 49 89 f4 mov %rsi,%r12 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 49 89 d5 mov %rdx,%r13 49 89 ce mov %rcx,%r14 4c 89 f1 mov %r14,%rcx 4c 89 ea mov %r13,%rdx 4c 89 e6 mov %r12,%rsi 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi 41 b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%r8d e8 f2 fe ff ff callq ffffffff81298e80 5b pop %rbx 41 5c pop %r12 41 5d pop %r13 41 5e pop %r14 5d pop %rbp c3 retq 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 00 00 Let's improve the instrumentation to avoid this: 1. Make stackleak_track_stack() save all register that it works with. Use no_caller_saved_registers attribute for that function. This attribute is available for x86_64 and i386 starting from gcc-7. 2. Insert calling stackleak_track_stack() in asm: asm volatile("call stackleak_track_stack" :: "r" (current_stack_pointer)) Here we use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT trick from arch/x86/include/asm/asm.h. The input constraint is taken into account during gcc shrink-wrapping optimization. It is needed to be sure that stackleak_track_stack() call is inserted after the prologue of the containing function, when the stack frame is prepared.

compiler_attributes.h: Support no_sanitize_undefined check with GCC 4

2020-06-16T13:35:02+00:00

UBSAN is supported since GCC 4.9, which unfortunately did not yet have __has_attribute(). To work around, the __GCC4_has_attribute workaround requires defining which compiler version supports the given attribute. In the case of no_sanitize_undefined, it is the first version that supports UBSAN, which is GCC 4.9.
